Dear Haycock Families,
Thank you to all of you, our PTA, and our students for a fun Boosterthon week. We appreciate the support and the funds raised to purchase new, safer risers and to replace our kiln. It looks like the three of us will be running an obstacle course in inflatable costumes which is what students were working towards😊
The work involved for installing a new electronic sign on the corner of Westmoreland and Haycock Road is moving forward. FCPS Facilities received a bid that was within the budgeted funds raised from last year's PTA silent auction, so we have received the green light to begin the process.
We can't wait to welcome Candace Fleming for our author visit this Friday, March 28. Here is more information about Ms. Fleming and the books she has written. This is another event sponsored by our generous PTA for all our students.
Take a look at the SCA spirit week days below. It's going to be a fun week!
Happy spring to all- we're glad it has finally arrived in all it's glory.
We hope to see you tonight at 7:00 for the virtual PTA meeting. Here is the link to join.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
Krystal Styles, AP krstyles@fcps.edu

Calling all Future Longfellow Lancer Families!
Please join us for an informative and engaging Parent & Student Panel on Tuesday, March 25th at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. You will hear from current Longfellow students and parents that came from Haycock Elementary. They will share what to expect as you transition to 7th grade such as classes, homework, clubs and activities, making new friends, and managing lockers. Parents will also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about resources available to support their child's transition to middle school. This is a fantastic chance to get a head start and ease any anxieties about the exciting journey ahead. We look forward to seeing you there!
